  1. These should get you started. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/sh...3&postcount=10 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/sh...5&postcount=11 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=33285
  2. I found it. It is on Craigs list Madison. It is now 5 bikes for 2500. 3 of them running, 2 disassembled. They are all MkI 1200cc. Bummer..................
  3. Parts bikes in Laydysmith? I am hoping (If Erikas foot can handle it) to be in Laydysmith for the July 4th weekend. I will be driving thru Caddott, maybe can cause trouble there to.
  4. Did you ever check the aiming of your new HID? If you are constantly getting flashed and you say that you have no need for a hi-beam, you may have installed it so that you effectively are always on high beam. Do you really want to risk blinding an oncoming car or truck so that it drifts into your lane? Yes you want to keep both Hi and Lo beams working and make sure they are properly aimed. I have had to reaim the headlights EVERY time I have ever changed a bulb on any vehicle, every bulb has manufacturing tolerances and is just a little different.
  5. Here is the thread of the changes that I had to do to my 88 to be able to use the Bixenon bulb. If you are willing to give up your hi beam (I would not even consider it) then you can go with one of the plug and play systems. The changes in that thread almost literally took longer to type up than to do.
  6. Well she is back home today. The pins did not come out like they were supposed to. They did not want to pull the pins because removing the pins would have left a deep hole for the infection to get to the inside of the bones. That would not be good. The infection is not fully cleared up but it is looking a lot better now than it did last week. Pin removal has been rescheduled for Friday morning. Once the pins are out, then it is just the final healing of the pin holes and getting the mussels to work again. But at least once the pins are out she can and is supposed to be walking on it. 3 Days after pin removal she can then let it get wet.
  7. For an easy upgrade either a higher wattage H4 bulb or a Silverstar Ultra bulb. If you go with the higher wattage bulb You will want to plug it in and run it at home for a while to be sure the wires are not getting hot. HID is worth the hassle of the rewiring.
  8. Whats wrong with this picture?????? I think the sparks are photoshopped but still funny.
  9. I agree that it is a shame to intentionally waste the meat. At least in Wisconsin, if a motorist hits an animal, that motorist has first rights to take the animal home for the meat or other purposes, like mounting if it happens to be trophy caliber. If the motorist that hit the animal does not want it then it is available to anyone that wants it, you simply have to have the LEO slap a road kill tag on it to make it legal for you to be in position of it out of season and/or without a hunting license. There is no cost for the road kill tag. There are people around here that stop at every road kill and hit it with some spray paint, then on their way home from wherever they were they know that any unpainted carcases are fresh enough to take home. I have stopped at active car deer accident scenes and ended up with a deer in the back of my truck when the original motorist did not want the deer. Sounds like time to write your state reps to have the rules changed, there is no reason to intentionally waste all of that meat.
  10. I would have been all over the Wildlife Dept to slap a road kill tag on that bear and let me butcher him up. Bear meat is some really good stuff, especially from a nice young bear like that one.
  11. Don't forget that you also need the gasket for the middle gear cover and the copper crush washer for the bottom bolt of the middle gear cover. At least on a 1st gen the middle gear cover has to come off before you can get the engine side cover off. That sounds like a plan. Burnt on one leg is perfect for my needs.
  12. I appreciate the offer, but I could not bring myself to disassemble a perfectly good stator just for my curiosity. Now if someone had a bad stator laying around................
  13. The one from Ricks appears to be the same output as the stock stator. Part of what you are paying for from Buckeye is the claimed 25% more power available for your electrical toys and accessories. Is one of these any better quality than the other? I have no clue. [senseless babbling] I would really like to examine a Buckeye "Higher Output" and Ricks "OEM type" stator side by side to see just what the differences are. I have done motor rewinding, it cant be that much harder to rewind a stator. Some day when my stator dies I may try to rewind it before I spend the bucks on a replacement. [\senseless babbling]
  14. Oh that,s just another advantage of a full face helmet........
  15. 1. Did you tell him that you are a member of VentureRiders.org for a discount? 2. That price includes the gasket set need for the job. When you compare others make sure to include the price for the 3 needed gaskets.
  16. As you take it apart look closely at the wire 3 circuit. It is that circuit that is grounded. It could still very well be a fried winding that is connected to wire 3 and the coil its self is grounded some where in the windings. If it is a grounded coil it should be obvious as soon as you get the cover off. If the wires on the new stator have the cloth cover going thru the rubber grommet, spray it real good with brake cleaner to get any oil or mold release out of the cloth and then rub some black RTV into the cloth where it goes thru the grommet on both sides of the grommet. Otherwise the engine oil will wick its way thru the fibers of the cloth wire cover and you will have a pesky oil leak.
  17. I like my Hot Sex served in a quiet area, on the rocks........
  18. Actually it would be perfectly legal to pave the entire property. I even priced it once. It is the putting up a garage that they won't allow.
  19. Look at the bright side. All of that lightening and rain will make you grass nice and green and lush so that you can go out and cut it every other day. Pick your poison. For me, I love a good drought that make my lawn turn that lovely shade of brown, and where I can hear it crunch as I walk across it.
  20. If/when my stator ever dies I will be getting the high output one from Buckeye. When you order the gasket for the side cover to get at the stator, don't forget to order the gasket for the middle gear case cover and the crush washer that goes on the bottom screw of the middle gear case cover. Those have to come off in the process.
  21. A friend of mine also learned of the dangers of baggy shorts while riding. He had a wasp went up his pant leg. Now while a bee can only do one full sting due to the curve and barb on the stinger, a wasp has a smooth straight stinger and can do many consecutive stings. My friend had 17 stings on ALL of the parts that can not be mentioned here. When I stopped over to visit he was in the easy chair with a leg over each armrest and ALL of his badly swollen parts soaking in a bowl of ice water. I just about died rolling on the floor as he told me the story and of how he was pounding on the wasp trying to kill it. This was 30 years ago and we (at least I do) still laugh about it, and he still crosses his legs and winces while we talk about it.
  22. I almost think she uses the list of don'ts from the doc and just has to try each one to see if she can get away with it. I have never seen anyone as bad at following a docs or anyone else's directions. AAARRRrrrrrrrgggggggg..............
  23. It is that 0.3ohms to ground that has me messed up. I'm wondering if one of the 3 output wires might be pinched and/or grounded somewhere. The only explanation that I can think of for the one low AC reading off of the stator is that there is the possibility that there is a poor connection that will allow the couple of milliamps from the ohm meter but not be good enough to handle the higher power output while running. In addition to what others have said I would redo the AC voltage test between each pair of wires to eliminate the possibility of a bad meter connection messing with the results of the first test. I would also check each of the 3 wires to ground, With the connector unplugged, for AC voltage with the engine running, and for resistance to ground with the engine off. And just for giggles, does your ohm meter show 0 ohms when you touch the leads together not all of them do. I agree with more testing before spending more money, I also hate throwing money/parts at a problem till it goes away and you still never know for sure what the problem was or if it is really fixed.
  24. At least we remembered to show up..........
  25. Well after a day of massive drugs, the foot does not look any better to my eye. All of the docs she needs to see were off today, go figure. Tomorrow the doc that did the surgery and an infection specialist will be checking her out to see how much if any damage there is.
